DispelCDTracker

With the new 8 second CD on successful dispel it may become difficult for groups with multiple dispellers to keep track of whose dispel has been used and who can still do it, so I create a small timer bar list to tell you exactly that.

The addon has a filter to restrict classes/specs that may have a dispel ability, but you aren't interested in seeing them. The default filter keeps you from seeing Guardian (tank) Druid dispels as they have to leave form to use it.

Because of the filtering system and the need to know what spec a person is, people will be added to your list in two ways. When they use a dispel and they are not already in your list or when you mouseover them to discover their specialization.

All settings that are user configurable are available in-game via a slash command (/dcdt).

/dcdt - Show a list of possible options.
/dcdt lock - Toggle hiding the header and locking the bars in place.
/dcdt width # - Set the width of the bars to a number from 100 to 400.
/dcdt height # - Set the height of the bars to a number from 12 to 32.
/dcdt filter class spec - Add/Remove a particular class and spec in the filter.

Please note that a class is required (spec is optional) and must exist in the list of known classes/specs. A Warrior can not be filtered since the addon does not have a known dispel ability for warriors, but it does for an arcane mage.

The addon also does not recognize partial class/spec names or nicknames. You can filter a druid balance, but you can not filter a 'boomy', 'moonkin', 'boomkin', 'critchicken', 'thunderchicken', etc.

I will be updating the addon as I find out about more dispels that a person may want to track for a raid/party.

The addon also saves anything that qualifies as a dispel in a special place in your SavedVariables folder in the DispelCDTracker.lua file. For those that are familiar with how variables are saved and can locate the DispelCDTrackerDB.unknown table in your DispelCDTracker.lua SavedVariables file, if you see an unknown that you feel should be tracked, please, let me me know via a pm or comment.

Well, first of all I want to thank you for this addon. It going to be AWESOME for BGR.
You know why? Because with the new cd on dispel there going to be people who will slack and say "Oh, sorry, it was on cd"
....And now I will be able to kick their asses out of my team MUWAHAHAHAH

Seriously: You know this is the only addon anywhere who track the dispel cd?

But It could be better:

When you lock the addon, and then you log out, when you came in the addon is unlocked

It could be awesome to track how many times someone actually dispelled. Like in the right of the bars, or something like that.
Skada can show how many debuffs someone dispelled, but not the times he actually did it.
Maybe with a right-click->reset counter?

It could be awesome too if you could be able to select to don't track dps dispel or offensive dispel...or even better be able to select what type to track (like a select box where I can select Healers and Offensive, but unselect defensive dps dispel)

Okay the lock thing was a big oversight on my part. That should be fixed in the next version.

I considered tracking number of dispels, but figured so many people have addons like recount and skada that can track things like that already that it wouldn't be real useful to have another addon doing it. I'll consider adding a count for dispels / casts to the right of the bars.

Tracking of dispels of buffs on enemies and dispels of debuffs on friendly targets separately would be an advancement on the filtering system. I'll work on that as well. Right now you can filter out dps by filtering specific classes and/or specs. The default is to filter out druid tanks, but with the slash command you can change the filtering.

Resto druids have 8 second CD "Nature's Cure" that removes magic, poison and curse.
Ballance druids have 8 second CD "Remove Corruption" that removes poison and curse.
I don't know about Feral and Guardian.

Thanks for the info.

Cat and bear druids also have the same Remove Corruption as moonkins, however for bear druids I would advise either not including them at all or at least defaulting them to "disabled", if that's within the scope of the add-on. Casting the spell shifts you out of forms - for cats that's just a DPS loss, but for bears that's potentially raid wipe.
